Measure the concentration and purity of extracted DNA using absorbance (using the automated nanodrop machine!)
The ideal concentration of DNA is 150 ng/ml!
Method:
- Log onto computer, open program ND 1000
- Wipe pedestal and top. Apply 3 µl of water to nib of pedestal and initiliase program
- Wipe, apply elution buffer (EB) or appropriate blank control (3 µl) to nib, blank the system, set to DNA-50 for DNA.
- Wipe, apply sample to nib, measure
- Reblank about every 10 samples
- Blank with water at end, wipe and log off
